A modern reinterpretation of a historical code. This ephemeral frame took only one single piece to build the bridge and arm pads. Arsene features added detailing of an “M” engraved along the rim, a stainless wire temple with end tips and nose pads covered in thermotube material for comfort. All together making this eyewear truly irresistible.

In recognition of Earth Day and ZEISS’ commitment to corporate social responsibility, The Zeiss Group has shared a comprehensive Sustainability Report that exemplifies the company’s mission to reducing their carbon footprint.
An important component in sustainability is the “Green, Safe, Responsible” project offered through ZEISS Vision Care. Globally, more than 250 initiatives have been combined into one program that’s designed to fulfill their responsibility every single day.
At the ZEISS Canadian lab, one of the achievements this past year was reducing their solid waste production compared to previous years. This was achieved by utilizing some local and global projects like: optimized puck shapes and thicknesses, centralized swarf collection systems, improved sorting, and recycling.
“Sustainability is a key component of our corporate pillar which includes green and social responsibility. We take pride in our achievements and will continue making further improvements to reduce our carbon footprint.” said Bryan Rossi, President at Carl Zeiss Vision Canada Inc.
Carl Zeiss AG provided further insight to the company’s goals in this Sustainability report.

In support of Vision Health Month, FYidoctors, has released its vision health checklist. The list aims to raise awareness and make Canadians more mindful of eye health conditions and diseases that often go untreated due to lack of symptoms, and the preventative measures individuals can take daily towards their vision health.
“Eye health is no less important than physical health and it’s crucial that Canadians familiarize themselves with proactive habits and behaviours to keep their eyes healthy,” said Dr. Alan Ulsifer, CEO and Chairman of FYidoctors. “In addition to routine visits to your optometrist, other measures like ensuring workplace safety and proper eyewear should be taken in support of vision health.”
Useful steps Canadians can take to protect their vision health as highlighted on the checklist include:
☐ Wear contact lenses correctly
According to the Center for Disease Control, 40–90% of people do not properly follow their optometrist’s contact lens instructions.
☐ Protect eyes from allergies
While allergies can be tedious to avoid during certain seasonal changes, there are many factors patients can control indoors and with proper medications.
☐ Prioritize fitness and nutrition
High blood pressure and obesity are both risk factors for a variety of eye diseases, so diet and exercise are important to ocular health.
☐ Schedule an eye exam
The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends that adults get a comprehensive eye exam every two years from a qualified optometrist. Children, seniors, and anyone with medical conditions or family history of eye disease should get an exam at least once a year.

David Green Eyewear is now distributed in Canada through Canadian distributor, Suzanne Sendel Agency.
David Green Eyewear contains real nature, such as fallen leaves, mother of pearl, reeds and a variety of woods. These items are incorporated into a natural, cotton-based acetate out of which the frames are individually cut by hand. The acetate is biodegradable and selected for comfort and a long-lasting finish.
Testament to their commitment to environmentally responsible fashion, David Green Eyewear is plastic-free, handcrafted and unique by nature. All frames are designed in Cape Town, South Africa.
The coatings used are certified by Restrictions on Hazardous Substances (RoHS), which indicates compliance based on a European Union’s Directive that restricts the use of Hazardous Substances. No harmful substances are used in the production of the eyewear and the factory water is recycled.
With a focus on superior quality, other components of the eyewear, such as nose pads and hinges, are sourced from Italy, France and Germany.
David Green states, “My purpose in life is to bring nature to the cities of the world, making people look with nature.”
“Being one with nature is a gift. In having access to a brand of eyewear as ethereal as Green eyewear, my work has become all the more meaningful,” says Canadian distributor, Suzanne Sendel.
